MEDICINE AND SPORT
Athletes, who have splendid bodies and great physical strength, are generally considered likely to die fairly young. Why this should happen is a riddle to medical science, but the following are the reasons. Although there are many kinds of sports, a person usually specializes in only one kind. Consequently the athlete repeats the same movements […]
Read moreWHAT IS SICKNESS
All human beings have both innate toxins, inherited from their parents, and acquired medicine toxins, which enter the body after birth. Most people find this statement surprising. From ancient times the belief was accepted, and served as the central idea underlying medical practice, that medicine was something that cured disease and improved health, and that, […]
Read moreMEDICINE TOXINS I
I shall now go on to explain the grave danger of medicine toxins, in general, aside from what I call the “hereditary toxins.” In all ages and all places, it has been considered sensible to take medicine when ill, just as it is to eat when hungry. The idea that medicines cure is deeply ingrained. […]
Read moreTRUE HEALTH AND FALSE HEALTH
Almost all humankind – or at least almost alli members of the “civilized” peoples – are ill. Some are not visibly sick while some are manifestly so. In other words, the people actually suffering are clearly ill, and the apparently healthy suffer from latent illness. Here I shall deal only with the condition of the […]
Read moreURINARY TOXIN
As has frequently been pointed out, especially hard toxins that persist in the body as the result of generations of use of medicines and that are thus not readily discharged, tend to accumulate where the nerves are most dense. Since we tense our waists, hips, and backs in the positions we assume during various activities, […]

A large number of people who are born thin yet want to put on weight try all kinds of methods to no avail. Practically everyone has at some time seen a woman with lovely facial features who was too thin to allow her innate good looks to show to best effect, and has thought regretfully […]
Read moreLOW-GRADE FEVER
Though only some people are aware of it, probably no one today is without what is called low-grade fever. Because of the surprisingly great influence it has on the human body, I shall now discuss this kind of fever. A persistent slight fever causes headaches, heaviness in the head, lack of psychological concentration, distraction, diminished […]
Read moreTHE THREE KINDS OF TOXINS
All illnesses are caused by the three toxins: accumulated toxin ( nendoku ), urinary toxin ( nyodoku ), and medicine toxin ( yakudoku ). Accumulated toxin could also be called hereditary medicine toxin since it is transmitted from generation to generation and is ultimately transformed into an independent kind of toxin. Urinary toxin results from […]
Read moreBALANCED PURIFICATION
The person who administers Johrei must remember the principle of “balanced purification.” For example, pain in the right arm may disappear, but then develop in the left arm. The pain seems to move from one arm to the other, but this is really an example of balanced purification: cleansing must take place in an equalized […]
Read moreJOHREI AND THE THREE-ELEMENT COMPOSITION OF THE INTERNAL ORGANS
Among the internal organs, the function of the heart, lungs, and stomach has the greatest importance to human life. I shall now explain how they act in terms of the three fundamental elements of fire, water, and soil. The heart absorbs the fire element, the lungs the water element, and the stomach the soil element; […]
